It’s done! I can’t believe it. Two weeks ago I just had a frame, then on Friday I had the SRAM bits and pieces and then today wheels and a fork, and now I have a 140mm travel 15.1kg/33 pound (I never said it would be light) all mountain 29″ beast. It hasn’t been ridden off road yet, and I’m still contemplating breaking it in on Rata Ridge tomorrow for the Super D but I think I might end up breaking myself if that was its maiden voyage. Anyway, it’s done. A massive thanks to Allan at Niner, Dylan, Rob and Peter at SRAM, Jason and Mark at WTB, Matt W and Matt V at Wide Open who have all helped make this build possible. Oh and thanks to Rich at On Yer Bike for running the cables this morning! More photos after the jump.
